Google Duplex Parody Demo Has The AI Breaking Up On Youtuber’s Behalf

One of the most impressive innovations at Google’s I/O 2018 is its Google Duplex AI that sounds eerily human-like.

Designed for Google Assistant, Duplex is supposedly capable of performing a phone call for its user, and answer questions posed to it. While the in-development technology has impressed many people, some have pointed out the ethical implications and creepy aspects, which the video below demonstrates.

During its original presentation, Google Duplex successfully makes an appointment at a hair salon. Another demo shows it trying to make a reservation at a restaurant.

This parody video by YouTuber Adam Fierman has the AI helping him call off his relationship with his girlfriend and have her collect her belongings from his place.
